TLDR
A 2001 IBM manifesto noted the almost impossible difficulty of managing current and planned computing systems, which require integrating several heterogeneous environments into corporate-wide computing systems that extend into the Internet.Abstract:
A 2001 IBM manifesto observed that a looming software complexity crisis -caused by applications and environments that number into the tens of millions of lines of code - threatened to halt progress in computing. The manifesto noted the almost impossible difficulty of managing current and planned computing systems, which require integrating several heterogeneous environments into corporate-wide computing systems that extend into the Internet. Autonomic computing, perhaps the most attractive approach to solving this problem, creates systems that can manage themselves when given high-level objectives from administrators. Systems manage themselves according to an administrator's goals. New components integrate as effortlessly as a new cell establishes itself in the human body. These ideas are not science fiction, but elements of the grand challenge to create self-managing computing systems.read more

Automating the performance management of component-based enterprise systems through the use of redundancy
Ada Diaconescu,John Murphy +1 more
TL;DR: A framework for automating the performance management of complex, component-based systems, based on the alternate usage of multiple component variants with equivalent functional characteristics, each one optimized for a different running environment is presented.

TCEP: Adapting to Dynamic User Environments by Enabling Transitions between Operator Placement Mechanisms
TL;DR: This paper proposes Tcep, a DCEP system to integrate multiple placement mechanisms that can seamlessly exchange distinct operator mechanisms at runtime and makes two main contributions that are highly important for a cost-efficient transition: a transition strategy for efficiently scheduling state migrations and a lightweight learning algorithm to adaptively select an appropriate placement mechanism as a consequence of a transition.

Ambient Intelligence, Criminal Liability and Democracy
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore some of the implications of the vision of Ambient Intelligence (AmI) for law and legal philosophy, and posit the need to conceptualise technological normativity in comparison with legal normativity, claiming that this is necessary to develop democratic accountability for emerging technologies like AmI.

The broadcast storm problem in a mobile ad hoc network
TL;DR: This paper proposes several schemes to reduce redundant rebroadcasts and differentiate timing of rebroadcast to alleviate the broadcast storm problem, which is identified by showing how serious it is through analyses and simulations.

The MD5 Message-Digest Algorithm
TL;DR: This document describes the MD5 message-digest algorithm, which takes as input a message of arbitrary length and produces as output a 128-bit "fingerprint" or "message digest" of the input.
The Physiology of the Grid An Open Grid Services Architecture for Distributed Systems Integration
TL;DR: This presentation complements an earlier foundational article, “The Anatomy of the Grid,” by describing how Grid mechanisms can implement a service-oriented architecture, explaining how Grid functionality can be incorporated into a Web services framework, and illustrating how the architecture can be applied within commercial computing as a basis for distributed system integration.
